Our old friend, Geo. w. Jones, Of
Linn county, will be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for state
superintendent of public instruction in
1883. We have known Mr.. Jones for
many years. He is assistant state super
intendent under Professor Lawhead. ALI
his adult life has been devoted to school
work. His qualifications are of high
order, and there is not in the state more
honorable man. Mr.. Jones lives in por-
ton of the state which western Kansas
can afford, on many grounds, to help next
year. We trust the help will be extended.

Observations From Il Personal ssasis.
Editor Mirror:
A prison is generally looked upon as a
place where men who have done wrong are
to be made better. and such place it
should be: but it is not. 1t is an educator
in criminal pursuits.
The young man who has committed an
otfense is sent to prison. He knows nothing
of crime in the true meaning of the term.
His early training has been in the way of
usefulness, but he departs from the true
course and does wrong. From the day of
his arrest his criminal education begins.
BY his arrest he is made to undergo the dis
grace, and from that time step by step. is
made familiar with crime. He is imprs-
Oned in Jail and his association with Grim
inals there, together with his asSOciating
with the inmates of the penitentiary, soon
causes him to throw aside his self-res-
pect. He hears the experience of educated
criminals; he finds men of all classes i'm
prisOned. Except the strictly honest and
he finally arrives at the conclusion that he
may as well have the game as the name.
His first OffenSe may have been slight
One but look out for him when he is at
liberty again, with the above idea upper
most in his mind.
If our strictly law-abiding citizens would
put stop to specializing in crime it would
be better for society, and there would be
fewer cOnvicts. How often are men sent
here by the officers of the law, simply for
the fees they make out of the case? If
there was more attention paid to finding
employment for men who are out of en-
plOyment there would be less money re-
1uired for the conviction and support of
criminals There is no reward for furnish
ing mlan employment and making him
AN useful citizen, but there is reward for
.convlcting him of q crime. | have known
parents to send their children to a reform
:atory because they could not induce them
TO do right. They had better place them
in any other place on earth, for reform
:atOry is where the alphabet of crime is
learned; the advanced education is gained
in the penitentiary.

rather see him placed in his grave than to

The Moral influence of House Ownership.

The Moral influence of House Ownership.
B. F. Northrop, in the Age OF Steel,
makes the following remarks on the NOR
al influence of house ownership: "Phll-
adelphia as the greatest workshop of Am
erica, furnishes a striking illustration in
point. Its comparative exemption from
strikes is due to the fact that, as a rule,
the workingman there owns his home.
Hence, he is as conservative as the cap
italist. You may find scores of squares
with nice brick houses of worklngmen,
not one of which is a tenement house.
Philadelphia now has double the number
of dwelling houses of any other city of its
size in the world. This marvellous in
crease in its homesteads is due to its CO.
operative building associations, number
ing over four hundred. They have been
tried tor nearly 30 years, and have proved
such valuable forces in promoting indus.

exempting all their stock and mortgages
from taxation. Though the holdings
of these associations exceed $4,000 900,
they ale managed by workingmen at lit
tie expense, and are always open to public
scrutiny. Failures have been very rare,
less than in any other class of financial

tried so long and so successfully, are a
model for the workingmen of the country,
certainly in large manufacturing centres.
That | may speak authoritatively,
will epitomiZe certain statements kindly
furnished me by an eminent Philadel-
phian, especially conversant with this sub
ject, who says; The tenement house is
unknown here. Ia the riots of 1877 the

"But, mama,'" Belle would say"
how do you know l am 10 be uncle
Joe's heir? Has he ever told you
so :'
"No, not In SO many words. But
who else could be his heir: Nou're
his nearest blood relative, and are en-
titled to his property by law. Besides,
for the sake of your poor dear papa he
will leave his property to you, and .
snug little sum it will be. You can go
in grand STYLE" And the lady's eyes
would sparkle at the dazzling prospect.
Belle grew to womanhood With this
idea firmly rooted in her mind, and it
often caused her to wonder how long
"dear old Uncle Joe'' would linger
good Uncle what father he has been!
What a nice tombstone she would erect
to his memory when he should bid
them final farewell! Surely, the
melancholy event could not be post
poned much longer. She intended to
wear "mourning" for him at least one
whole year. How would she look in
black? The thought of her Uncle's
dying soon would sometimes bring
tears to her eyes. She would have re-
jected the idea with horror that the
wish was father to the thought. O, no :;
she wanted him to live as long AS the
disease would let him, but certainly,
she thought that could not be long!
That evening after Mai. Bradleigh
had made his will, he lay on his bed
thinking: "The doctor says l may die
at any moment. Now why should l
die alone: Why not have one of the
girls to stay with me? But which one
shall l take? l do not want both
that is certain. l believe l will put
them to a test. Let me see.''
Uncle Joe lay still long time alb.
sorbed in thought. Presently he ex-
claimed: "Yes, now l have 1t. Why
didn't l think of that at once ?"
At that moment there was gentle
rap at his door, which put an end to
his cogitations.
"Come in," he said.
The door was gently opened and
faint smile played over he invaiid's
features. The sight was enough to
gladden. his heart. A Stole might have
asked himself: "Have tho angels
come to visit me-"
The next chapter will explain who
these angels were.

Mr.. GladstOne's Reply to the Invitation to

LONDON, Sept. S.-The letter contain
ing the invitation to Mr.. Gladstone to

the Adoption of the American Con-
stitution at Philadelphia was dated
June "a and WAS signed by Messrs.
Kasson, Little, Carson and Cochrane,

he was informed by the gentlemen
who conveyed to him tho invitation
that it was the only one sent to any
person not an American citizen or an
accredited diplomat, the exception in
his case being intended as an express
recognition of the historical ties which
bound Great Britain and America be-
fore the Declaration of Independence.
He was also assured that he would
be allowed to make whatever arrange

Read This Well and Ponder Over It.

Before the Democracy of the State
can make up its mind to nominate
Gen. Nichols, says the Tensas Ga
scHe, it must agree to the following
startling propositions and incorporate
them in the platform of the party -
l. That however grievors may be the
wrng' they suffer, however onerous and
degrading may be the burden of negro
and Republican misrule, any efforts made
by Democrats to relieve themselves is "ut-
terly wrong and without Justification"
For this Democratic q proposition
our readers are referred to the Nichols
message to the Legislature of'77 as the
"Tensas Affair"
2. That whenever nomination does
not meet the approval of Democratic
minority that "a bolt and the support of
an independent candidate is their remedy.
For rhe enunciation of this rule of
Democratic conduct, reference is made
TO the course OF Gen. Nichols in the
Hunt-st Martin campaign. We sub
NIT that it is scarcely possible to
evolve, by the employment of ever so
much ingenuity, two doctrines so sub
versive of the traditions of our party
and of our ideas of right and wrong as
the above two fundamental PROPOSE
tons of the Nichols Democracy. Adj
herence now to such monstrous theo-
rios is to give the lie to everything
that the Louisiana Democracy has ac-
compltshed since the Inauguration of
the movement to wrest tie State from
Republican domination.
